Nice little app, but changes file type defaults

Jan 18, 2018

It’s a nice little developer’s app. But I was reminded I had it when I went to go check the default app on an XML file. TextLab had hyjacked the XML File type and likely many more file extension associations too. JSON has been hijacked too, and I can bet I can keep listing them. As a developer, I have my ways. Having some App come by and have the odasity to go change the file associations is low class. If I want TextLab to be a default I CAN CHANGE IT MYSELF EXTRODINARILY EASILY. This revelation has really changed my mind on the quality of this App. If it wern’t outright garbage, why would they dare change all the defaults? THe last App I had that did this was classified Malware and widely deleted.

If TextLab is the only program you ever intend on using, maybe this hyjacking of all the File Types is okay, for real developers that use real tools and have real experience, this App is really an insult.I’d rather not delete TextLab as the first option so we’ll see if the associations get left alone in the next update, or if I need to delete this App for being lousy pushy Malware.

Very nice but for one feature

This is fantastically useful, very well-made tool even in its first version. There’s only one critical feature missing that would be great to add ASAP: debug messages report line numbers that have errors (e.g. missing comma in JSON) but source file doesn’t show line numbers, and there’s no way to make it do so, which makes debugging unnecessarily painful.

Please add that feature and it will be perfect.

Thanks!

A Developer's Swiss Army Knife For Text

Disappointed Birds

This application is fantastic and is a bargain at $8.99. It allows me to test and validate a wide variety of formats. I regularly work with JSON, XML, CSV and Base64 data as well as encoded URLs. TextLab handles all of them with ease. The exported files even save the human readable formatting.

The bonus of being able to generate hashes for testing is another time saver.
